"It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1659 advisory.
Moby is an open source container framework. Prior to version 29.3.1, a security vulnerability has been
detected that allows plugins privilege validation to be bypassed during docker plugin install. Due to an
error in the daemon's privilege comparison logic, the daemon may incorrectly accept a privilege set that
differs from the one approved by the user. Plugins that request exactly one privilege are also affected,
because no comparison is performed at all. This issue has been patched in version 29.3.1. (CVE-2026-33997)
OpenTelemetry-Go is the Go implementation of OpenTelemetry. Prior to 1.43.0, the otlp HTTP exporters
(traces/metrics/logs) read the full HTTP response body into an in-memory bytes.Buffer without a size cap.
This is exploitable for memory exhaustion when the configured collector endpoint is attacker-controlled
(or a network attacker can mitm the exporter connection). This vulnerability is fixed in 1.43.0.
(CVE-2026-39882)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
